Reality is we're not going to have a top 3 recruiting class in the conference until they get rid of the one and done rule. Ever. The best players aren't coming here, and frankly I don't want them for 1 or at most 2 years.

But I'm not reading anything that says that this team is going to be any better than last year's disappointing season, and maybe not that good.

I'm willing to give Haase one more season after this, but his job coming in was to start bringing the roar back to Maples and so far that hasn't happened and isn't likely to happen this season either.

There is another side to this - I'm pretty sure that Stanford is a stepping-stone job for Haase. There's the possibility that he gets frustrated with Stanford and bolts too - maybe not after this year but if next year is better...
